Away from the holiday hotspots, our experts reveal some of their favourite coastal escapes
1. Zahara de los Atunes, Andalucia
On the Costa de la Luz on the Atlantic coast of Andalucia, this is a proper little town with spectacular beaches attached. Although it is fairly popular with Spanish tourists in summer, few Britons know about it. Amuse yourself trawling around the many tapas bars (bluefin tuna is a local speciality).
With the attractive white towns of Tarifa and Vejer de la Frontera about half an hour away, and Cádiz and Jerez around an hour’s drive, Zahara suits people who aren’t keen on full-on resorts and like to sink into local life.
